my dad was a career foreign service officer just like am bass door chris stevens and served our country overseas and i just found it incredibly offensive when mitt romney decided to exploit that issue for political purposes or attempt to. i think that's the way the country saw it. here's a guy with no foreign policy experience. his first overseas visit to london, he insults our closest ally. the next glimpse we got of him was this effort to exploit a tragedy overseas, and then to claim like some of these, you know this right wing conspiracy theory that there's some kind of cover up and the president just looked at him and said look, i sent these people overseas. they are emissaries of the united states and the president of the united states, i will do everything i can to get the facts and track these guys down and bring them to justice. look i'm looking forward to the foreign policy debate now because romney, he cannot accept -- there's really no light between when he says he wants to do and what the president's doing unless, as joe biden pointed out last week, romney and ryan want to,

. >> bill: seen steven colbert said it was a statement about benghazi, the morning after benghazi. we knew what he was talking about. that appearance of the president was called so that he could put out, you know, he could speak to what had happened the day before. there was no doubt about it. that's why we were there. i watched the secret service pull the vans up after that little statement he went back in the oval office with the secretary of state and they were leaving to go to the state department so he could address the state department employees the same day. to say that he was talking about oklahoma city, or september 11, 2001 is just ridiculous. >> why do you think the administration has said different things on this? was it that one part of the government wasn't talking to another, putting susan rice out on the sunday show? >> bill: fog of war. as has been reported, people on the ground in libya at the embassy told reporters who shoulder up that they were there because of anger over this video. >> yes that was reported in the new york times. >> bill: and intelligence, the

immediately mitt romney plead tried to exploit this for political purposes even before we knew that chris stevens had been killed, mitt romney was out there attacking president obama on this issue making a political attack against the president on this issue so that is disgusting. it is despicable. i even think it is close to if not in fact, treason. second point is they say that boy, there was a recommendation by a state department official that we keep the marine guards on duty and not let this extra contingent of marines leave libya. that happens to be true and mama rein contingent was protecting in tripoli not benghazi. even if and maybe they should have even if the state department had agreed to leave those extra marines there, they would not have been in benghazi. the man who made the charge admitted in testimony on the hill last week that even if they had built a great big wall around that embassy in benghazi, it would not have helped, it would not have prevented this kind of attack and those marines would not have been there, they would have been in tripoli. this idea that they ignored a

governor romney is going to go all out and double down on exploiting the tragic death of ambassador stevens to make the president look terrible at foreign policy despite his successful record of it. do you think that's a game changer for mitt romney? can he use this tragedy to try to make the president an object of scorn? >> well, first of all the tricky thing there is that there is a debate that's on foreign policy. the last of the three debates they'll have. so he has two debates in between now and then that are going to be mostly focused on the economy and their domestic issues. that being said, there is a potential it would seem to make some hay out of the administration's changing story or at least incomplete story that they have given along the way about what happened in benghazi, whether it was a terrorist attack, whether it was something that could have been prevented. is it something that was bumbled at some point either in the -- the ways that it could have been stopped or what was going on afterwards. those are things that there have been questions raised about. however, governor
